Project objectives

4 main objectives– Increase MV/LV PV integration thanks to a “Network Energy

Manager”– Study and model customers response– Operate a pocket of LV network on an Islanding mode– Study business models

2 key features– Project based on ERDF Linky smart meter architecture– 3 levels of electricity storage

400 kV line

Site description Carros located in Southern France, in an “electrical

peninsula” 10 500 inhabitants, with residential and industrial

areas Already 1,8 MWp of solar PV Single 400 kV line supplying the area 88 secondary substations 20 MW peak load

Use cases Optimize massive PV integration in the

distribution grid Test islanding within a low voltage district Test 3.5 MW load shedding within the city of Carros Incentivize prosumer behavior

Load shifting

+2300 Wh consumption per client between 12 PM and 4 PM

- 1000 Wh consumption per client on previous off-peak block (no electrical boiler start)

-1100Wh consumption during on-peak time (appliances shifting)

+200Wh consumption in total per client

Average power consumption and generationin Watts

Average power consumption on 21 clients with solar off-peak hoursAverage reference power consumption for the 21 clientsAverage PV generation for 40 PV generators
